In recent years, the hottest industries in China have been semiconductors and new energy. As a benchmark industry in the high-tech sector, the semiconductor sector has received strong support from national policies. Authoritative departments predict that with the rapid development of technologies such as AI large models, China’s semiconductor industry will surpass 2.5 trillion RMB by 2025. China has become one of the world’s largest semiconductor markets, with many outstanding companies emerging from upstream and downstream in the industry chain. For example, silicon wafer companies like Zhonghuan Co., process manufacturing equipment companies like Shanghai Microelectronics and Shenzhen Xinkailai, semiconductor design companies like Unigroup Guowei and Huawei HiSilicon, wafer manufacturers TSMC and SMIC, and chip companies like Hygon Information and Cambricon.

Throughout the entire chip manufacturing and packaging and testing process, thousands of processing steps are involved. One of the most important tasks is environmental reliability testing, which includes temperature, humidity, low pressure, temperature shock, and comprehensive testing of equipment, components, and chips. Compared to other industries, the semiconductor sector has higher environmental reliability testing requirements and pays more attention to high-precision testing performance and quality stability in environmental test chambers, which is precisely the strength of SCICOOLING’s products.
SCICOOLING originated from the pilot workshop of the Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences. It has focused on the research, development, and manufacturing of environmental test equipment for over 20 years. Its main products include high and low temperature (damp heat) test chambers, impact test chambers, rotary table support/vibration isolation platform test chambers, altitude test chambers, and combined environmental systems Test chambers, walk-in test chambers, ultra-low temperature equipment, etc. are widely used in aerospace, high-reliability equipment, electronic communications, semiconductors, new energy, and other industries. The products feature superior performance, reliable quality, energy saving, and environmental protection, with numerous examples such as “temperature test chambers still in good condition after 14 years, continuous low-temperature continuous testing for 2880 hours, two-box basket impact boxes with unlimited cycles of thermal shock,” 180°C ultra-low-temperature test chamber, 7°C/7%RH low-temperature low-humidity test chamber, and other cases.
Taking the semiconductor industry as an example, representative companies that have cooperated with SCICOOLING to date include: China Electronics, CETC, Sanle Electronics, Huawei, NAURA (leading domestic high-end semiconductor equipment company), Hygon Information (leader in CPU+GPU domestic substitution), GigaDevice (leading domestic memory chip and MCTU chip company), Jingjia Microelectronics (leading domestic GPU company), Jiejie Microelectronics (leading domestic thyristor company), Haier, Hisense, AAC Technology, Ruifeng Optoelectronics, Chengdu Yaguang Electronics, InnoTech Linco, Beidou Xingtong, and others.
